one of my Boss' most senior dogs lived for a couple years at least with severe kidney issues, so Michelle's comment fits perfectly.If you have any questions I might be able to answer, let me know.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

He's been doing really well, eating like a PIG...getting his sub-q fluids like a good boy...playing in the yard. He goes in this morning for his recheck...so we'll have a better idea of where we stand.

He's on a special kidney diet, and I thought he'd prefer the Royal Canin, it smells "meatier" and has a really soft texture. Nope...he prefers the rubbery, pale, weird-smelling Hill's K/D. Whatever works!

He got his blood drawn...we'll have the results in the next day or two.

sometimes they like the weirdest crap I once had a patient that liked only the dark kibble from Beneful, so I ended up picking out all the dark kibbles so they would eat
